Crazy for you.. [Fireafy fanfic] REWRITING

1 || Friends

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ It was during the night.. after they finished a contest. There stood Firey, Eggy, and Needle, who stood afar, talking about Leafy. They all talked about her past mistakes and how 'evil' she was, and they made very rude comments about her features and behavior.
And there sat Leafy, not too far from where the three were. She sat on the now burnt grass, looking downwards as she thought about herself. She thought of her past.. how young and immature she was.

But moments later, Coiny spots Leafy, who was sulking. Being the person Coiny is, he quickly approaches Leafy.

"Leafy-" Coiny tried to speak, but instantly, the sad look on Leafy's face shifted into a more neutral expression, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she jumps up onto her feet.
"Okay, I'm done sulking for now." Leafy quickly spoke immediately after cutting Coiny off, catching Coiny by surprise and confusion.

"Wait.. You can just decide just like that?" Coiny questions out of confusion, and Leafy grins as she nods, moving her hands to her hips. "Yep. It's become so routine that it's beginning to bore me." Leafy states, as if it was a normal thing for her. Coiny was still confused, but he shrugs it off.

"Sheesh.. But anyway, I came to ask you if you wanted to come with me and the rest of the losers to recover Clock." Coiny sighs, deciding not to press further despite his concerns as he looks towards Leafy, making Leafy slightly surprised. The idea of being invited to something wasn't something Leafy got often.. even though it was simple enough.

"Wait.. You.. want me to come with you guys?" Leafy asks in disbelief but eventually smiles and decides to do so.

But from afar.. where Firey, Eggy, and Needle stood. Firey catches a glimpse of Leafy and Coiny interacting, making Firey pause with his bad talking and observe them for a quick moment. Seeing how happy Leafy looked at the moment made Firey's eyebrows raise, wondering what the two were talking about. Whatever Firey said must've made Leafy happy.

But with that thought.. a small twinge of a strange, unknown feeling was felt in Firey's chest, causing Firey to face down and frown slightly. But he shook his head and resumed to talk about Leafy with the two girls.. Ignoring that feeling he felt in his chest.

........

Hours have passed since they've got together and found out that Clock was their missing contestant. And now, the rest of the team was mad at Leafy for telling Clock how many episodes he has been gone for, causing them to dislike her even further.

The sky was a dark blue, with a full moon up in the shy as stars surrounded the white circle of light, twinkling up in the sky without clouds in the way. Leafy sat down on a burnt table, thinking about her current situation and the next elimination that may happen soon.

If Leafy's honest, she's feeling a mix of emotions. Earlier, that day, where Leafy has proven to Firey that she had an actual ''friend'', the flame just HAD to point out a silly mistake Leafy made when she was younger, causing Eggy to think lowly of her in an instant.
Leafy sighs quietly, resting her chin on the palm of her hand as she gazes tiredly up at the sky. She admired the way the stars twinkled in the sky.. the full moon.. the way it brightened up their dark world and burnt area.

Even though she's feeling sad, she doesn't want it to stick to her forever. She's in that mindset where she convinces herself that feeling emotional will "slow her down" and make her appear "weak." She doesn't want to be seen as that person. Leafy wants to spread joy, make people happy, and always have a smile on her face to prove that she's always positive and the nicest, sweetest person you'd ever meet.

But. It was exhausting. It wore her out having to smile every single day to the people who probably didn't like her at all. She got voted out early! Her first team didn't even like her.. but Leafy understood why. She got herself a second chance, but for what? Winning? She almost won once. The votes were close.. and yet, HE had to win and NOT let her in.
